Finally got my K75RT back on the road. Great bike, runs well, but.... the heat on my legs is ridiculous. Exactly like one of the main reasons I sold my R80RT: it was like having two space heaters trained on my lower legs going full blast. I read the posts on this. Apparently it is a well known problem, although BMW engineers seemed to have missed it when they designed and tested the bike. My question: can anything be done to fix this? Can you block off, from inside, the three slots in the long rubber pieces that come up against your legs? Can you do as one person said, get 1 1/2" foam pipe insulation and fit it in around the top of the hollow tube that is that last air chamber near your legs?( the one the rubber pieces fit into) I already have the heat blanket under the tank, and I don't notice a problem under the seat or on the tank. If you block off all this stuff, can it affect the engine cooling? Will removing the lowers solve the problem, but if so, don't you need to fabricate parts to support the main fairing, and the radiator cowling?
I am mystified how BMW ever sold more than a handful of these bikes, unless it was to Eskimos.
I'd like to put the guys who designed these bikes on them and make them ride through the Arizona dessert for three days in the summer.
"Ooh mah God! Deeze deeesiine eezz terreeble! Back to Berlin!"
